  • yea i make potions if ya know what i mean

    I'm not going to read that because it will probably make me angry.


    Wikipedia is comically distanced from how actual music fans perceive music.

  • Has friends besides tanks now

    Looks fine to me.

  • yea i make potions if ya know what i mean

    This article is about the electronic music genre.



    I got no further than this.


    What tends to get called "Breakbeat Music" (for whatever damn reason) is usually older pre-Dubstep UK stuff like Garage or Jungle.

  • Anyway, I'm not sure what you're expecting with this thread.  There really isn't anything to discuss, so it basically just has to be "oh yeah sure thanks I learned something" or "Yeah!  Fuck those posers who don't know all the specific arbitrary jargon that I use!"

  • yea i make potions if ya know what i mean

    the name of this website is "itjustbugsme.com"


    this bugs me. So I made a thread about it.

  • But you never had any to begin with.

    Strangely enough, the majority of people are not versed in music jargon.

  • yea i make potions if ya know what i mean

    I run into this problem most often on music forums, where you'd really think people would know it.

  • "It took hundreds to kill me but I killed humans by the thousands. I am sublime!!! I am the true face of evil!!!!!"

    Having never heard of a breakbeat before and doing a little bit of GOOGLE searching I discovered that breakbeat has had several different meaning's over the past and I fail to see how your view on the meaning of the word is any more relevant than the several other meaning's it has taken. The thing is, in music, genre's are what people make them, so if someone makes a piece of music (using the term loosely in this case) and calls it a breakbeat song, who are you to disagree?

  • You can change. You can.

    The thing is, in general, genres are what people make them



    Fixed.
